A masterpiece. 30 years old today. 🤩😍 ...

The Tool pack is a sight to behold. 😍🌀🤘

It felt like 40 degrees in Monterrey. I stand there wearing a jumper (next to Parient11) to protect myself from the sun. Waiting for hours beforehand. The toughest VIP event ever. 🤣

There's one more thing I really have to say. The organisers (On the List) could definitely have provided free water. Instead, they had the venue sell it for the equivalent of 3 euros. To those responsible for "On the List": This is really embarrassing!!!

Thank you Tool for the 3 great soundchecks. You immediately made me forget the strain. 🖤🌀 ...

Time passes. The party is over. 

Once again, I experienced so much that I can't tell you everything. Starting with the mezcal tasting after the show in Monterrey. It was great, but I had trouble finding my hotel room afterwards. On to the missed flight to Guadalajara and the subsequent 7-hour bus journey through Mexico. Right up to the forgotten Tool posters at the security checkpoint on the return flight to CDMX (I only just managed to find them again). Yes, that's how it always works on such journeys. 😂🙈

But the most important thing, as always, is the great people I got to meet. Some I already knew. Some I didn't. The biggest thanks go to my friend Mario. He lives in CDMX and without him I probably wouldn't have been here. Thanks also to Aly, Alex (Patient11), Ben Daevila, Jafet, Martha and Tomek and all the other cool guys.

By the way, Danny threw me the water bottle during the soundcheck in very hot Monterrey. He had drunk from it beforehand. Alex and I then drank it down. I could literally feel the energy afterwards.🤣

"Dancing Queen" always comes straight after a Tool show. That's why I'm linking it now. See you soon Tool Army.

I didn't want to write a review of the concert. Others can do that better. But I can say one thing. Tool have never been better. Unbelievable. Thank you Maynard, Adam, Danny and Justin. You guys are the greatest! 🙏🌀

Crazy CDMX. Absolutely crazy.

There's not much more to say. Probably one of the best and most intense Tool concerts of all time. A performance by the band and a fanatical audience that I have never seen before. Maynard and Adam's gestures after the concert speak for themselves.

I myself enjoyed the shows from a little further back. Maybe I'll go a bit further in Guadalajara. Let's have a look.

The VIP events take a bit of getting used to. I'll say it with respect. Lovingly chaotic! 🤣🙈🥴 ...

Monterrey yeah!!! 🥳

One of the best Tool concerts for me. After about 30 shows, I can say that for sure. I have rarely seen so much energy from the band. Maynard was there the whole time. It was almost as if they wanted to make up for the problems with the technology. Absolutely powerful.

@Patient Thanks for your time in the queue. See you in CDMX.

And thanks for always playing the same songs. At least I know them. 😍😜

I finally got a photo with Juan. He is the most important person in organising the VIP events. Thank you for your always friendly and funny words. ...

Sightseeing in CDMX. I am very impressed by this city. Huge but it works more than well.

The view is from the "Torre Latinoamericana". ...

Here we go. On my way to Mexico. 🇲🇽🤘

Hope everyone who was there had a great time in Punta Cana. The photos looked fantastic. I will now meet some of them in Mexico. See you soon! 🌀 ...

The Melvins on another extensive EU/UK tour. I'm really looking forward to it. I have to go there.
